His work has had a profound influence on the way in which we all think about key geographical concepts. He will be sorely missed both by those that knew him well and by the discipline as a whole. pic.twitter.com/zdndOzMCgk
His work has been influential for many - particularly in the area of place and other conceptual thinking.
Many organisations and individuals have been sharing their memories, and talking about how they have been influenced by his work.
Saddened to learn of the death of Yi-Fu Tuan. I’m off to re-read ‘Place, Art, & Self’: a brilliant little book from 2004 in which Tuan thinks about ‘the tug of place & space’, poetry & painting, photography & music #RIP pic.twitter.com/14jC20ilPb

We are sad to hear of Yi-Fu Tuan's passing at the age of 91. Geographer Yi-Fu Tuan's voice led the humanistic geography movement and transformed the way we think about place and space. We are grateful for his vision. pic.twitter.com/Pc5C11g0lc
